"Teacher Fujii, what I just said--"
"Xinchun-chan! I won't let you talk nonsense anymore!"
"I, I didn't."
"Matsumae was absolutely serious about what he said."
"Jiuhuayue! You are not allowed to sow discord between me and Xinchun-chan!"
"Huh?! I'm just stating facts."
"You're just trying to instigate something!"
"I'm not interested in doing such boring things."
The three of us were talking at the same time.
It’s endless.
"You guys—alright, alright!"
Fujii Itsuki really couldn't stand seeing these three little girls bickering in front of him.
He sighed in his heart, what was going on today.
Then he looked at Matsumae Shinchun who came in first, and said with a smile as much as possible:
"Matsumae, some jokes should not be told this way, or they will lead to misunderstandings. Look, Chitose misunderstood, didn't he?"
"Teacher Fujii, I'm not kidding."
Yang Kui Chitose turned her gaze to the profile of Matsumae Shinharu:
"Nonsense! How can this not be a joke? Xinchun, look at the atmosphere right now..."
"."Matsumae Shinchun noticed the gazes of Jiuhua and Fujii.
Fujii Itsuki sighed and said, "I see Xinchun, you are tired. How about you go down and rest for a while? I will pretend I didn't hear what you said just now."
"I, Mr. Fujii."
Fujii Itsuki turned his gaze to the other side, "And Chitose, why is Chitose here?"
"I went to eat kebabs with Brother Shu. I thought Brother Shu must be hungry after walking all night."
"Thank you. Then you can put it down first."
"Jiuhua, what about you?"
"I came to ask you about my homework, uncle." Jiu Huayue didn't expect him to ask her.
"."
Can you come up with a decent reason?
Fujii has a big head.
It's really big.
So many things happened today that he couldn't wrap his head around them.
After accidentally entering the backyard of the Matsumae family, he was threatened by the chief priest to get engaged to Matsumae, and was suddenly arranged to be Harumi.
Not to mention having to listen to the three little girls chattering and bickering here in the early morning after being busy for several hours.
He just couldn't stand it anymore.
"You all, get out."
He wanted to lock himself in the room, have a good rest, and relax his overloaded brain.
Yang Kui Chitose also noticed Fujii Itsuki's fatigue and didn't want to disturb him too much: "Brother Itsuki, the skewers are here. If you are hungry, just eat a little. Call me if you need anything."
"Okay, Chitose is thoughtful." Fujii Itsuki held his head.
The three of them left Fujii Itsuki's room together.
Walking outside, in the corridor outside the room on the third floor, Jiuhuayue took the lead in grabbing Matsumae Xinchun and questioned:
"Why did you say that just now?"
"Jiuhua, what are you doing!?"
Yang Kui Chitose waved away Jiuhuayue's hand and put her hand between Jiuhuayue and Matsumae Shinchun. Matsumae Shinchun huddled his hands on his chest.
"Chitose, you still don't understand?"
"Understand what? I only saw you bullying Xinchun! She won't fight back if you bully her!"
"We all heard what was said just now, right? Qiansui, are you still going to cover your ears and pretend you didn't hear it?"
"I don't know what you're talking about, Jiuhua, didn't you hear what Brother Shu said just now? Xinchun was just tired and was joking with Brother Shu!"
"A joke? You think this is a joke?"
"Otherwise?! Why else would Xinchun say something so outrageous! It's something that any normal person wouldn't be able to say!"
"."
Is what you said abnormal?
Matsumae Shinharu realized this when she saw Chitose Haruki standing in front of her to block for her.
"How can you be so stupid!"
Jiuhuayue couldn't stand Yang Kui Qiansui's stubbornness. She held her forehead and said, "Otherwise, you can ask Matsumae if he was serious about what he said."
"No need to ask! She was just joking with Brother Shu! I just happened to pass by and heard it!"
"you--!"
"Jiuka, I don't want to argue with you. But you shouldn't drive a wedge between me and Xinchun."
Stupid, idiot!
Stupid Chitose!
You just don’t understand Xinchun!
".I can't stand you. You will know the pain from now on."
Jiuhuayue suddenly felt so sorry for Qiansui because he was kept in the dark by Xinchun's superficial personality. She felt uncomfortable, but she couldn't explain it clearly.
She sighed helplessly and decided not to continue the argument.
Jiuhuayue saw Hiiragi Rinka peeking at the stairs, so she walked over and took her hand and went downstairs together.
It was late at night and there were only two people left in the corridor on the third floor, but the street outside was still bustling.
Matsumae Shinharu was thinking about how to let Mr. Fujii know that he was serious.
"Kokoharu-chan." Chitose Yangkui took her best friend's hand.
"Um"
"What happened just now? Are you serious? Why did you suddenly say that?"
Matsumae Shinchun saw from her eyes that she wanted to believe him, ".I am serious."
Yang Kui Qiansui's pupils shrank, "Could it be that what Jiuhua said is true? Why?"
".My aunt told me to say that to Mr. Fujii."
"Ah? Your aunt is the owner of that shrine?"
"It's the Grand Priest."
"It's almost there."
"Why does she want you to say that?" Yang Kui Chitose asked again.
"Because, Chitose knows this year's word, right?" Matsumae Shinchun lowered her head in front of her good friend. "The Matsumae family needs a role model. As a shrine maiden of the Matsumae family, I need to take the lead."
"what?"
"Because my father didn't want to remarry, and my grandfather only had my father as his son, the main family of the Matsumae family has no bloodline."
"But what does this have to do with you, Xinchun? How old are you?"
"We're preparing for a rainy day," Matsumae Shinchun said with a blushing face, "My family wants us to at least get the marriage arranged."
"But what does this have to do with Brother Shu?"
"Because my aunt said that Mr. Fujii is the right person."
".? I can't understand. I totally can't understand. Brother Shu and your aunt just met, right?"
"I just met Mr. Fujii, but my aunt has known Mr. Fujii for a long time. The Matsumae family doesn't care about the other party's family background, but their ability, and whether the other party's fate matches mine. If they match, and the person has the ability, the Matsumae family will try to contact the other party."
Matsumae Shinharu spoke with a depressed tone.
"I'm sorry, Chitose. I'm your father's daughter, a member of the Matsumae family. I can't say much at home. My family will arrange everything for me."
"Your aunt has been eyeing Brother Shu for a long time? When?"
"It was probably in December." Matsumae Shinchun recalled the day of tutoring.
Isn't this when Brother Shu first became a teacher? (Same month).
After hearing this, Yang Kui Chitose finally understood everything.
Sure enough, she guessed correctly.
She didn't mistake her good friend.
She said.
Why would Xinchun suddenly say such strange things to Brother Shu?
This can’t be blamed on Xinchun.
Heart Spring
This is all forced!
Forced by my family!
Xinchun, it’s so miserable.
